pgreanias Posted October 7, 2017 #26 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Is an adapter needed for a flat iron (hair appliance) ? We will be cruising on the Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderDuck Posted October 7, 2017 #27 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Btw, clothes steamers are allowed on NCL. They are? AWESOME! It means we won't have to constantly hide ours in a drawer when we're not using it (which is what we've done before). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marchie1053 Posted October 7, 2017 #29 Share Posted October 7, 2017 DW has not yet had a problem bringing 'her' hair dryer rather than usingt he one in the cabin. I get a kick out of how ling she takes to get the hair just right and then time how long it takes wind and humidity to wipe it out yet she does it every evening! http://luv2cruise.blogspot.com I spend an age getting my hair just right; it's the only one I have left ... :). So now I just settle for a quick head polish with a tissue and hope that the sea salt doesn't look like rampant dandruff :D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English101 Posted October 8, 2017 #30 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I just searched "flat iron and curling iron" because while doing online check-in, it looks like they are on the prohibited items list. I understand this is an old thread but I see people just posted yesterday and was wondering if anyone ever had a problem bringing flat irons and curling irons.

cb at sea Posted October 8, 2017 #31 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Any and all hair appliances are allowed....otherwise, women would stop cruising. Clothes irons will be confiscated, if caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyguy31 Posted October 8, 2017 #32 Share Posted October 8, 2017 On my prohibited items list for my cruise in December it mentions hair dryers specifically and anything that has a heating element. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visigoth Posted October 9, 2017 #35 Share Posted October 9, 2017 We have taken them before without any problem. Since they are specifically prohibited they may seize them until you leave the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeleeniggy Posted October 9, 2017 #36 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I just went on a cruise last year on the Escape and I took both my blow dryer and flat iron. Don't remember seeing the prohibited list in red as I was downloading the edocs. This time it's red, so I wonder now if I missed something before or they are enforcing this now for sure. Hmmm! I called NCL only to have the person read the prohibition list for me saying that if it was on the list it'd be confiscated. Well, gee, thanks!

phillyguy31 Posted October 9, 2017 #37 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Someone posted on another thread the list from a previous cruise and it wasn't on that list, I can only assume that it was changed not that long ago. Unfortunately that really doesn't matter when it changed it looks like anything with a heating element might be confiscated and you probably won't win the discussion with security. The best suggestion is to pack it in your carry on, at least if they take it you won't have to go to the naughty room to get you luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always made sure to unplug it and put it in my insulated travel case. Well worth the purchase! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilRhody Posted October 10, 2017 #39 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Item 21 on that list seems to ban all hair styling devices. Guess they want people to spend $ at the hair salon. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHRiverRats Posted October 10, 2017 #42 Share Posted October 10, 2017 So, Dawn has 2300 passengers. That means on my next cruise about 1000 women will need their hair done before dinner. Gee, that shouldn’t be a problem. They’re certainly not going to make any money on pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfnesq Posted October 11, 2017 #43 Share Posted October 11, 2017 OK, so at the risk of continuing on with this ancient thread, I just checked my edocs and linked to the Prohibited Items list.....and the curling iron language is not there anymore.....although it does still say ANY kind of heating element, but I think that language was always there and hair products seemed to be ok. At any rate I'm packing my curling iron NOW before they change their minds again! 21.

phillyguy31 Posted October 11, 2017 #44 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Ok I think I have officially lost it. When I posted I first checked the list and it said it, now it doesn't. Maybe they are listening and deleted it from the list. Either that or someone is messing with us.:evilsmile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
